Building AI Agents with Serverless, Strands, and MCP

AI Agents have revolutionized what's possible beyond traditional large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Agentic systems can plan, reason, and act through dynamic multi-step tasks adjusted at every phase. In this session you'll learn how to build AI Agents on AWS Serverless compute (Lambda, Fargate), implement authentication, security, and observability, and connect it to remote MCP Servers.
